The impact of theatrical experiences on young adults in Spain
2018
This study examines how young adults experience theatre and how this activity impacts their personal development. A total of 305 subjects, between 14 and 29 years old, completed the 'Theatre and me' (T&Y) battery of questions. Correlation and variance analysis were conducted considering age and gender. Older subjects reported that participating in drama activities has a greater impact on their lives, helps them to have a greater proclivity to take risks and to be more open-minded. With respect to gender, girls score higher than boys in 'Tolerance to RiskTaking and Commitment', 'Identity and Consciousness', Expression of Feeling' and 'Escape'
The school theatre as a place of cultural learning: the case of Soviet Latvia (1960s–1980s)
2017
AbstractThe goal of this article is to reveal how through school theatre activities under authoritarian rule, changes took place in pupil knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviour regarding culture, namely, how the process of cultural learning occurs. I use a historical case study, specifically the case of the Valmiera School Theatre, which was the leading theatre group, not only in Soviet Latvia, but also in the entire Soviet Union. My primary sources are eight unstructured interviews, 20 published memoirs, articles in the press, theatre programmes, and photographs. One part of Soviet pedagogy was aesthetic upbringing, which was implemented through state-funded collectives, including sch…

Uenighetsdramaturgier
2019
Hvordan kan samtidsteater bli arena, laboratorium og katalysator for «uenighetsfellesskaper» (Iversen, 2014)? I denne artikkelen drøfter jeg teatersituasjonens potensial for uenighetsfellesskap og ser uenighet i forestillinger i relasjon til uenighet om forestillinger før jeg analyserer to eksempler på «uenighetsdramaturgier». I de kontekstsensible analysene undersøker jeg hvordan publikumets interne uenighet kommer til uttrykk, og hvordan det dramaturgisk legges til rette for denne uenigheten.
Scenekunstens (for)handlingsrom etter 22. juli
2019
In this article I discuss theatre’s scope of action after the 2011 terror attacks in Norway (“22. July”), with an emphasis on independent theatre, aesthetic heteronomy and the public sphere. A theatre manager’s (Jon Refsdal Moe) retrospect account of and reflections upon a case of self-censoring is the starting point for my (re-)examination of the arguments and dynamics concerning some of the most prominent contentious 22. July performances. I discuss how the controversies can be understood and dealt with, and how they are connected to theatre’s scope of action and place in society today. In my argument, I differentiate between the public sphere as an arena for discussion and debate (which …
The new England code : controlling female agency in contemporary American tv drama
2008
Masteroppgave i engelsk - Universitetet i Agder 2008 In an attempt to contextualize the DC observations, the overarching super-genre of melo-drama has been given particular attention. The relevance of melodrama is evident as the main ‘corpus’ of the survey, Cold Case, embodies a range of melodramatic traits. Furthermore, as will be seen in Chapters 1 and 3 particularly, melodramatic and Puritan value sets tend to overlap, especially in the attitude towards family. All chapters include analyses of individual Cold Case episodes, and each analysis comes with a description of scenes within the episode written in a slightly more subjective language. This has been done in order to provide the rea…

TV-theatre: TV Presence in Contemporary Theatre for Children and Young Audiences in Buenos Aires
2009
In Argentina, television shows have created their own theatrical shows, which run for the winter holidays, using the same stories, same characters, and same actors but onstage. Many artists who devote themselves all year long to theatre for children see those “TV-theatre” shows as unfair competition, arguing that such huge productions lack actual artistry and cultural value. This paper aims to examine the characteristics of the TV-theatre, including how much theatre and how much TV languages, codes, and messages it contains, using Pavis´s concept of “intermediality.” If one of theatre for children's greatest goals or outcomes is to create future audiences/theatregoers, and to impart in them…
